Published!

You may recall back in July when I shot my father in law with his 67′ Stang (link here). He had written to the editor of Mustang Times about his 1967 coup that he and his wife were original owners of, the editor asked for a full story and some photos to go along with it. Well we didn’t know if they would run the article at all and were happy to get an e-mail back in January from the editor letting us know that it would be run in the February issue. It didn’t make the cover, but got great coverage in the magazine, and was by far the largest article. I spent about half an hour on the phone with the editor, as she was looking through the images and she kept saying “I wish you had that in a portrait orientation”, so I don’t know if that made the difference as I shot most of the images in landscape, next time I’ll know better!

Anyhow it was a real treat to be able to see some of my work in print, and to read through the accompanying article. I will be meeting up with the editor again this summer at a Mustang Club of America show in Bellevue, and I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet her face to face! I am hoping the weather is nice enough to ride down with my dad-in-law in “Mustie”.
